FSC #2 Fort Clinch State Park




practice day
After a (4) hour drive we finally arrived at ft. clinch state park. The park was really cool it was on the beach,but no time to look for shells it was time to get down to business. My Dad and I checked out the course, we were told it was the first 2 1/2 miles of the adult course. After the first practice I found the trails to be very flowie(is that a word???) and had a couple challenging hills.

Race day
Well, there was no time to practice today. I was a little confused on the whole going slow thing until we got to the woods. My dad thought maybe we were being paced by an adult because of safety issues. I also didn't know where the finish line was.... more last minute changes to the race. My dad just told me to pedal until someone stopped me. Dave had the boys and girls start at the same time. Rough start.... I.B. and I crashed while going into the woods. We got back on our bikes and continued with the race. I tried to follow close behind I.B. on the trail(I bumped into her tires a couple of times). Finally, I was able to pass her on a big hill with roots. Very close race..... but I was first girl , fourth overall , to cross the finish line.

P.s Pua I love the new grips.....Thank you!!!!!!
